Usury Rate
(redirected from Usury Rates)

    0.01 sec.
Usury Rate
The highest, legal interest rate on a financial instrument in a jurisdiction. In 1978, the U.S. Supreme Court held that a company may charge up to the usury rate in the state in which it is registered, regardless of where the borrower lives. As a result, many American credit card companies are registered in South Dakota, which has loose restrictions.
